ANNOUNCEMENTS
The flowers today are given by David Busby in honor of Sandy’s birthday. It doesn’t matter where you travel in life, but it matters who you travel with…….
I invite you to a study of the Book of James (in the New Testament) beginning on September 10th at 4:00 pm before the Wednesday Suppers. The author is James, the brother of Jesus, and was written between 45 and 47 A.D. The text emphasizes practical action of faith and encourages God’s people to act like God’s people. The Wednesday classes will be about 75 minutes in length and will continue on Wednesdays until we have completed the Study of James (five chapters). Leader, Pastor Noble
Items needs for God’s Helping Hands: Sugar, Spaghetti, Spaghetti Sauce, Flour, Grits, Cream of Chicken Soup, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Cream of Potato Soup, Cereal, Cookies, Mac/Cheese.
🎶 Hymn-Sing Sunday! 🎶
Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 31—our special Hymn-Sing Sunday! In your bulletin, you’ll find an insert where you can write down your favorite hymn (number and title) and dedicate it "In Memory" or "In Honor" of a loved one. Simply fill it out and drop it in one of the baskets as you leave church. If you’re able, we also welcome donations to our Christmas Music Fund to help support the music ministry this season. Let’s come together in song and celebration!
